All the electric and plumbing throughout the building is completely new.

All of the ductwork is new or has been cleaned thoroughly.

Diers Electric, of Howard Lake, rewired the entire building.

Diers Plumbing and Heating, of Howard Lake, installed the new heating and air conditioning.

Pauly’s Plumbing and Heating, of Winsted, installed all new plumbing throughout the building.

New superstructure beams had to be installed throughout the building to bring it up to code.

The appliances in both apartments are brand new and energy-efficient.

For the landscaping in back of the building, a gravity sprinkler system was installed. A rain barrel, attached to sprinkler heads in the landscaping, catches the rain water off the roof and disperses it.

The steps that went to the street in front of the building have been moved to come off the back of the building, as they did in the past, according to Gerry.

Specially insulated windows were installed throughout the building to cut the noise from traffic along highway 12.

“We definitely took advantage of the view of the lake and have all the big windows facing it,” said Gerry.

The finished building has two apartments with commercial space facing the street.

Both apartments have two bedrooms and one bath. They have a lofty feel to them with exposed ductwork, high ceilings, and exposed brick walls.

The main floor apartment is approximately 1,100 square feet, and the second floor apartment is around 850 square feet. The commercial space in front is approximately 260 square feet.
